Boys Will Be Boys at the X-Games: ESPN 30For30 The Birth of Big Air Premiere

Some hella cute guys were slacking off at the premiere for THE BIRTH OF BIG AIR. Directed by Jeff Tremaine chronicles how free style BMX came about and how pioneer Hoffman kicked it up to an entirely new higher level. I didn't know who Mat Hoffman was before watching the film but WOW was I impressed. Lots of fun people were there Danny Carey from TOOL who I used to play b-ball with, director (and very cute) Spike Jonze, Steve-O (sober), Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville (who I would like to photograph naked and he reminds me of an offspring of Jack Nicholson), Mat Hoffman (legend), and a bunch of other cool people who are involved with promoting and participating in the X-Games. I pitched a stunt idea to Steve-O about jumping into the BP Oil Disaster as a way to bring awareness to the situation. We will see what develops.

David Alan Grier sent packing on DWTS

Comedian David Alan Grier (known as DAG) to his friends and fans, was voted off to his surprise. It wasn't a surprise to those who get the show. Dancing With the Stars is all about the fan base. Of course the judges weigh in but if one doesn't have fans that vote, one is doomed. Steve-O has a MTV generation that loves him. Lawrence Taylor has a football base, Shawn Johnson as an Olympic Gold Medalist has numerous gymnastic enthusiasts, Melissa Rycroft Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and Bachleor reject has a sympathy base besides her excellent dancing ability, Ty Murray bull rider & Chuck Wicks have a huge country/cowboy fan base. The sexy Gilles Marini left a lasting-lingering impression because of his nude scenes in SEX AND THE CITY movie that coincedently is playing non stop on HBO and available on DVDs for several months, has both male and female fans. Marini's dancing has been steller. And of course he is easy on the eye. Lil Kim has a huge Rap/music base, an urban audience, a "Paris Hilton"/bad girl gone good type of following and a growing number of new fans that are wowed by her dancing. David didn't get the "Fan Thang".

If you don't have fans and treat them well and reach out to them, you get booted off the show. Simple as that. No matter how good you are if you start bitching at the judges because you think you are better than your scores or some one else's, you are bitching up the wrong tree. Although David may have been mad at the judges, he needs to understand that.
